Stable Iodine Intake and Thyroid Screening Outcomes After the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: An Observational Study
Stable iodine intake was not associated with thyroid ultrasound screening results, probably because of the low radiation doses following the FDNPP accident. Parenchymal heterogeneity and thyroid volume were similar, supporting the conclusion that the adverse effects of single-dose stable iodine are minimal.
